Test trenching was carried out on this site. Five test trenches were excavated (Trenches 2-6). This site had been previously stripped of topsoil, and a layer of made-up ground consisting of topsoil and compacted stone, varying in thickness from 1m to 1.5m, was removed onto a layer of terram, which overlaid the natural subsoil. The natural subsoil consisted of a mottled, orangish-blue marl and boulder clay. No features of archaeological significance were identified, and no artefacts were recovered.
